Anyone ever watch/listen to this? It's not only fun trying to answer the questions yourself, but listening to the bad contestants may be funner.

WFAN is by far the best sports station in the country.

They just had a span of the 3 of the worst contestants ever, and were cracking up as they headed to break. Simply great TV.

WFAN can be very good, but it is also very hit or miss.

I miss it alot, I used to listen to them all the time. You don't realize how bad other sports talk is or how much other people try to copy them until you no longer live in that market. Allthough I must say ESPN Radio has gotten a lot better over the past few years.

In the same boat. Used to listen to WFAN all the time.
WEEI in Boston may be the highest rated but they can't hold a candle to WFAN in terms of the quality of sports talk.

ESPN Radio here isn't too bad, but please stay away from The Ticket. That station is the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard...

I'll have to check it out for the sake of checking it out. It's like when you taste something gross and then are like " this is gross, here, try it"

I don't know if anyone heard/saw it yesterday, but during the contest, they played an audio cut of Joe Namath, and "The Marquis" made a comment about a bottle of scotch. He immediately apologized, but it was great radio.

Interesting. There's a station out here called The Ticket (1540 KMPC), although I don't know if they're the same.

How are the doing the contest this year? I know in past years they've done sound bytes where you need to identify the person saying it.

It's usually a mix between that and straight trivia questions. I think 5 (?) correct answers in a row makes you a winner.

Actually 4 correct answers makes you a winner.

I wish they had streaming audio. They only put up about six audio clips per day of big interviews or show openings. The sports talk you get when listening live is awful.

Back when I was up in the bay area, I used to love KNBR 680 AM. Some of the greatest sports talk in the nation. I haven't listened to it regularly in over 5 years, but I can't imagine it has fallen off very much.

Yeah it's 4 correct, first one is usualy pretty easy, but #4 is usualy an obscure audio clip.

If they still have Imus in the morning than I can't consider thm the best sports station by any stretch since they don't even have a sports show as their morning show. I really miss Jody Mac though, wish I could get his show in at work somehow.

Early 90's I believe was the peak of the station. Ed Coleman from 10-2, M&M from 2-7, Sommers overnight. So many nights I stayed up till the wee hours playing strat-o-matic and listening to Steve Sommers.

Big WFAN fan although I don't live in NY right now so I can't here'm... wish they'd put it over the internet to listen to. I'd have to agree the station has lost a little something, and with James Dolan being the b*tch he is now they don't even get to cover Knicks games.
On a side note, Dolan may be turning into one of the worst people in sports currently. The way he censors everything under his power is ridiculous.

WFAN is the best. It was hilarious the past two days with the poor answers....
There was an audio clip where this person (I knew who it was) made two significant hints, that he was at the Hall of Fame (it sounded like his induction speech) and that he was a part of the No-Name defense...
the caller goes - Jack Ham.
obviously it was Nick Buoniconti
